[NHCOLL-L:1844] 24-Drawer Cal Academy cabinets available from UCR

[Doug Yanega]

Hi, all. As some of you may know, the UC Riverside Entomology 
Research Museum recently renovated (thanks to NSF) and installed a 
compactor system. This generated a surplus of insect cabinets (all 
24-Drawer, Cal Academy style). We've now pretty much exhausted the 
first tier of contacts, and still have about 150 cabinets left, so it 
looks like a more general announcement might help move a few more. 
The main problem for potential buyers is, obviously, that they have 
to come to UCR to pick up the cabinets (I suspect shipping would cost 
more than the sale price of the cabinets). They vary in construction 
and condition, and vary in price from $20 to $120 - compared to about 
$500 or more for new cabinets of similar nature. We'd naturally offer 
discounts to anyone actually capable of hauling away large numbers of 
them. Those we don't sell will be demolished, most likely this summer 
when the building they're in gets leveled.

Interested parties should contact me directly.

Peace,
